Re: [Harp-L] Entry level chromatic

[Matthew Smart <matthewsmart@xxxxxxxxx>]

Once again, I must plug Dave Payne here.

I have played many a hohner 270, and even the 270 deluxe. The 270/270 
deluxe has me gasping for air when playing william clarkey stuff in 3rd.

His optimized chromatic by Seydel is much more airtight, partly due in 
fact to that he took the slide assembly apart and eliminated the leaks 
in it. I was so astonished by how easy the low register was on it and 
overall play, that I hired him to work for us.

Hohner deluxe 270 $215.

Elk river chromatic deluxe with upgraded round hole mouth piece on 
saxony $210, with free shipping. Introductory price.
